Understanding Your Cellulite Treatment Options

Cellulite is a problem that affects many people around the world, most of them women. If you are past puberty age, then you are at risk for developing cellulite. This problem is recognized by its cottage cheese like appearance and is most often found on the hips, thighs and buttocks. There are risk factors that increase your chances of cellulite, which include things like genetics, diet, activity level, smoking, alcohol and caffeine consumption, and age. The bad news is that no one is immune to this unsightly issue. The good news is that there are a remarkable variety of cellulite treatment options available.

A healthy diet and regular exercise is the easiest and often most effective weapon against cellulite. Because cellulite occurs when fat tissues expand around thick fibrous tissue, it goes without saying that the less fat you have on your body, the less likely you are to have this problem. Not to say that being in shape makes you immune, because there are perfectly fit and toned supermodels who have cellulite. Exercise also helps increase blood flow and circulation which also works to prevent the formation of cellulite.

There are lots of topical products like gels and creams that claim to reduce the appearance of cellulite. It's thought that while these products cannot permanently eliminate cellulite, they may be able to temporarily improve the skin's appearance by flushing out excess water weight and smoothing the skin. Some of the newest creams out there claim to work by actually thickening the skin which works to hide the cellulite.

If you have a day spa in your area, you may want to try out some of their treatments. There are various fat fighting body wraps that are designed to help reduce the appearance of this lumpy, dimpled fat using detoxifying ingredients and bodily compression. The body is exfoliated, then covered with a product such as seaweed or in this case, cellulite cream. Then, it is wrapped in fabric and covered with a thermal blanket. As with the other topical applications, the results of a wrap are often temporary.

The most dramatic form of cellulite treatment is cosmetic surgery. While liposuction is the most traditional procedure used for the elimination of cellulite, many cosmetic surgeons these days are using less invasive procedures such as laser treatments to reduce its appearance. Endermologie is another procedure you may want to consider, which uses a moderate amount of pressure and suction and must be repeated every few months to maintain results.
